<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I know nothing about the subject and would
appreciate some "link direction" help. A week ago I was in a
National Weather Service office and I asked them if any of the supporting hams
(I know that they do help out during Weather Spotting Need" has mentioned SSTV
in addition to the small amount of APRS and auto WX reporting that I know is
done. They told me that SSTV had never been brought up and they knew
nothing about it. From some past years experience I know that the
word descriptions given by Spotters can be confusing and I would like to know if
we can send images in addition to the verbal reports in times of
confusion.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Why SSTV? Why not just a 500mW- 910Mhz TXR and a
$17 board camera from Hong Kong?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>They carry 420, 480, 520 line board cameras, and
all operate off of 12v.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Just would need high gain antennas w/az&el to
track it. But you already have the Lat/Lon/alt so shouldn't be too
hard?</FONT></DIV>
